A team of Bangladeshi intelligence officials arrived here on Thursday in connection with the October 2 “accident blast” in Burdwan in which members of the banned Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh were suspected to be involved.
“We have given them permission to visit India. They will visit Kolkata and other places which they think they need to,” Bangladesh’s Minister of State for Home Asaduzzaman Khan told The Hindu over telephone from Dhaka.
The team is also expected to visit the site of explosion. It visited the makeshift office of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Salt Lake.
The visit comes after NIA officials recently visited Dhaka earlier this month and shared information about the blast. The NIA has arrested several accused who are suspected to be Bangladeshi nationals in connection with blast including the head of Burdwan module Sajid.
Commenting on the visit, Mr. Khan said Bangladesh government is satisfied with the information shared by the Indian authorities.
